When traveling to Florida, how can you miss Universal Studios Orlando?
Moreover, we entered the park at night this time, and the atmosphere was completely different - after the lights were turned on, it was a bit like walking into a Hollywood blockbuster, and even the air had a cinematic feel.
✅The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade at night is so beautiful that it seems unreal
As soon as you step into the Harry Potter area, the atmosphere changes.
The rows of pointed roofs of Hogsmeade glowed in the night, and it looked as if there was real snow on the roofs. Coupled with the old English-style street lights and the slowly wafting steam, it really gave me the feeling of "Am I walking into a movie?"
We couldn’t stop taking photos at the entrance of Diagon Alley. Every shop is so detailed - Honeydukes Candy Store, Three Broomsticks, Owl Post Office, and every door has interactive details that will drive magic fans crazy!
🧙Magic Wand Experience: Let the Magic Choose You
What I’m most looking forward to is going to Ollivanders to buy a magic wand! When you walk into that old shop with dim lights and piles of wand boxes, you really can't help but speak in a low voice, as if you are afraid of disturbing the magicians inside.
We were also lucky enough to come across a wand selection show, where the clerk would pick a lucky tourist to experience the "magic wand choosing the wizard" scene. The lights, wind sounds, and magic effects are all there, and the atmosphere is super exciting! Of course I couldn’t resist and bought myself an interactive wand afterwards, which I could use to wave magic at specific points in the village to make things in the windows move, which was really fun!
✅The Forbidden Journey of Azkaban: Harry takes you flying
Of course, you can't miss the main attraction "Forbidden Journey" when you come to this area. Take a ride on the suspended mechanical arm chair and it will feel like you are really flying in Hogwarts. The Quidditch field, the Forbidden Forest, the Dementor and the Dragon all took turns to appear, and the speed and rhythm of the pictures were just right, leaving my legs still weak when it ended.
✅Revenge of the Mummy: Scared to the point of laughing
This indoor roller coaster is an adventure entirely in the dark. The atmosphere was super weird at the beginning, with pyramids, coffins, and spells, and then suddenly rushing and retreating, with flames and loud sound effects, the excitement index was off the charts. The people next to me were screaming the whole time, but I was screaming with my eyes closed 🙀
✅Transformers: The thrill of first-person combat
The Transformers 4D facility is super awesome, it feels like you are sitting in a robot and fighting the enemies together with the Autobots, with floor vibrations, wind, fire, and explosions, as if you are really rushing into the battlefield. It’s really a feeling to ride this at night, the lighting and atmosphere make the whole fight more realistic.
This night tour of Universal Studios allows you to play with the facilities and see the magic, but it feels like a movie journey. Especially for Hogmeister Village, I sincerely recommend that you spend at least 1 hour to visit it slowly, otherwise you will miss a lot of details. Next time I want to do it again during the day to see if the magic is different during the day and at night.
